"Real has built a strong foundation of delivering innovative mobile technology and services, and we’re very excited to be extending our advanced mobile capability to our enterprise customers," said John Giamatteo, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Business Products and International Operations for RealNetworks.
The Helix Server Unlimited is the only multi-format, cross platform enterprise streaming server on the market to deliver RealAudio®, RealVideo®, Windows Media, QuickTime, Mpeg-4 and 3GPP from a single server infrastructure.
The mobile application is currently being implemented by several of Real’s enterprise customers, including the City of Seattle and Virginia Tech. The City of Seattle has been streaming its television programming to the desktop for over 8 years and is now expanding it to the handset.
"The mobile component is another great value-add service for our residents," said Nate Eckstine, City of Seattle Department of Information Technology. Virginia Tech plans to stream a variety of content to student's multimedia handsets that can be used in formal and informal learning experiences.
